Here, Perfect to a Wish

by Robert Louis Stevenson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/robert-louis-stevenson_poetry

Here, perfect to a wish, We offer, not a dish, But just the platter: A book that’s not a book, A pamphlet in the look But not the matter.
I own in disarray; As to the flowers of May The frosts of Winter, To my poetic rage, The smallness of the page And of the printer.
